Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  walked all morning to lift my heart,
 'Cause the world  keeps dancing with the paperman.
 I love  you never talk in dreams,
But  now it's here your happiness  is real.
 Oh make some  big jumps, big jumps,
 You're afraid  to break some bones.
 Come on make some  big jumps, big jumps,
Life  is yours alone.
 You hold your head  up, your head up high, like  you think I do. Do, do do, do  do, do, do, do.
 Sometimes I feel so confused,
 I'm under the illusion that I have to choose.
 I love you always know the way,
 The way back home always is the same.
 Oh make some big jumps, big jumps,
 You're afraid to break some bones.
 Come on make some big jumps, big jumps,
 Life is yours alone.
 You hold your head up, your head up high, like you think I do.
Tick-tock, this  clockwork will stop,
You're  the key for winding up my heart.
Brick-brack, if  you don't wind me up,
The  sky will lie upon me like a passed-out drunk.
Without  you I would never  rise again.
Without  you I would never  rise.
 Hey there sunshine lift my heart,
 I know life is long but it goes so fast.
 I love you never feeling old,
 You never bought the rubbish that they sold.
 Oh make some big jumps, big jumps,
 You're afraid to break some bones.
 Come on make some big jumps, big jumps,
 Life is yours alone.
 You hold your head up, your head up high, like you think I do.
 Oh make some big jumps, big jumps,
 You're afraid to break some bones.
 Come on make some big jumps, big jumps,
 Life is yours alone.
 You hold your head up, your head up high, like you think I do.
